About me
Why choose me?
I just love people, story telling and celebrations!
I originally trained and worked as a Registrar with Cambridge County Council. In 2022, feeling constrained by the structure of 'legal' weddings I decided to train to become an independent celebrant. Thus, being able offer a more personal service.
I love to meet new people and start my preparation for every event by finding out everything that make my couple tick – their personalities, cultural backgrounds, interests, and beliefs – I then take inspiration from their chosen venue and the time of year, to create a unique, bespoke and memorable ceremony.
I previously worked as a primary school teacher for 5 years: with a passion for English, art and drama.
I live in Cambridge, with my husband, daughter and 3 cats.
When I am not creating magic for my couples and families I enjoy yoga, walking or reading a good crime novel.

What makes my ceremonies unique?
Well, the obvious component is you!
My travels have led me all over the world from Europe to Japan but my favourite place has to be Ibiza.
Very much a place of two sides - ying and yang - the party hard and hippy calm. I've had my share of the partying and now enjoy sense of calm from the moment I touch down on the 'white isle'.
The natural energy that radiates deep from within the island led me to engage my inner sanctum. From this I started to practice yoga and explore more about different holistic practices.
I include the use of a simple smudging ritual at the start of each ceremony - ensuring that the energy surrounding my couple and their guests is positively charged.
Please watch this short clip to give you a clearer explanation of smudging.

I also like to place crystals within the ceremony area. Each couple is given the opportunity to 'select' the crystals (the crystals usually select you!) and wherever possible I like to include my chakra crystal tree as part of the ceremony table.
(The seven chakra tree is also known as the good luck money tree. It is used to manifest good luck, wealth, prosperity, and success.)
